Oh god. I’m so fucked. You know how I said I didn’t really have access to my mom’s bank accounts until the other day? Well it turns out our landlord never deposited December’s rent check. Until yesterday. He completely wiped out the account. And I haven’t even paid January’s rent yet.

I was so sure I could get caught up this month and now I’m even further behind. Obviously I’m going to start paying with money orders from now on. But, holy shit. I told him I’d be sending him $1,100 today and, if I clear out all the accounts, I barely have half that. And then it’ll happen again next month. And the next.

I have to let my health insurance lapse and hope to god I qualify for Medi-Cal and can get approved quickly. Because that’s $350 I really can’t afford right now. Even if I do let it lapse, I’m still $600 short for this months rent. Amd it’s almost February. I am so fucked on so many levels.

Anyone have $600 to lend me for a few months!? I’m kidding. Don’t.

The planning meeting for my mom is tomorrow. At least then I’ll have a better idea of what’s going to happen and how I should expect things to go.

I’m going to go visit her now. I’m not going to tell her what’s happening. It’s best she not know what a complete fuck up I am. Oy.

Do you have books you can sell? I know you love books. I love books as well. But I'm finding lots and lots of money in selling them. I've also dusted off my library card. I made $125 today on bookturtle.com... Just an idea to help the scraping by.

Well, it is time for a Sales Post, so that will help once you have it up and going. Most of us have all been there where we're wondering where our next pack of ramen will come from. It'll get better, Sweetie.

If we just substituted proper nouns from my life in place of the proper nouns in your life, I could have written this same journal entry. I have no answers whatsoever, only that you're not alone, sweetie. :) xoxo

My landlord used to do that all the time - at one point I think he had THREE months worth of rent checks that he hadn't cashed. So I started paying my rent with a money order. Once I buy the money order, the cash is out of my hands and it doesn't matter when he deposits it.

I know it's too late for this particular situation, but it might help in the future.
